Voting in this year's Locus Poll and Survey closed May 1st, and the winners of the Locus Awards have been determined, but this year Locus has decided to reveal, in advance of announcing the winners at this year's Westercon in Calgary over July 4th weekend, the 'finalists' in each category -- the top five finishers in each category. Finalists are listed alphabetically by author, or title. (Where six items are listed in a category, there is a tie in one of the top five positions.)
